Can I take the JLPT outside of my home country aside from Japan?


I’ll be returning to the US soon and I want to take the JLPT in the summer, except the US seems to only conduct the exam in the winter.

I was thinking I could simply travel elsewhere for the exam and just take a week to sightsee, for example to Vancouver or Bogota

I didn’t think this would be much issue until I looked at the Bogota page here: https://cienciassociales.uniandes.edu.co/lenguas-cultura/jlpt-japanese-language-proficiency-test-nihongo-noryoku-shiken/

“Registration will be done virtually for both residents of Bogotá and residents of other cities.”

The wording here is a little unclear. Does it just mean from everywhere, or does it specifically mean only Colombians can register? Has anyone has experience traveling to a non Japan country for the JLPT?
